Dabang Mumbai bridged a two-goal deficit by scoring a splendid field goal in the dying moments to hold two-time champions Ranchi Rays 3-3 in the opening game of Hockey India League-5 on Saturday.


India international Nikkin Thimmiah scored the timely effort, in an indirect way off the hosts' fifth and last penalty-corner award which became a field effort and counted as two to help Mumbai storm back from 1-3 to 3-3 at the MHAL Stadium.


The other goals for the hosts was scored by Harmanpreet Singh, off a penalty corner, while Ranchi got their goals from Simranjeet Singh, a brilliant field effort that broke the goal drought in the match and Germany's Christopher Ruhr, who converted a penalty stroke.

Considering the match was just the first of the campaign, both teams lacked co-ordination, relying instead on individual brilliance.
